Yesterday marked a momentous occasion as ka-sosyo, the esteemed community of Atenean Sociologists, united with fellow Sociology major students from all corners of the Philippines in the virtual realm of the Philippine Sociological Society meeting. Through this groundbreaking digital gathering, bonds were forged and alliances were solidified as these passionate individuals found solace in their shared love for the intricate study of society. In this new era of connectivity, the Atenean Sociologists were able to build meaningful relationships and establish a strong rapport, fueled by their common passion and commitment to the sociological field.

In celebration of life

Dr. Burton’s contributions to the cultural and archeological study in Mindanao has cemented her place among the many greats of Filipino archeology. Yet her work doesn’t end in paper, among her many accolades her most endearing and crucial work is the many projects in aiding indigenous communities in Mindanao. In light of her various contributions, the Ka-soyso organisation has erected a temporary exhibit that features her great works. The exhibition is located in the Magis atrium. We invite everyone to pay your respects, and bringing flowers is highly recommended.

A Vocation worth Embodying 💛💙

This homage is devoted to the late Dr. Erlinda Montillo-Burton, Ph.D.'s life's work and her achievements not only at Xavier Ateneo but also in Mindanao itself. Dr. Erlinda Montillo-Burton's 35-year employment at Xavier Ateneo marked a period of rich and significant anthropological and sociological progress at the institution, and last Monday, September 11, marked the fifth anniversary of her passing. Despite having passed away five years ago, her spirit and legacy live on to this day.

See here, the participation of the Ka-sosyo delegates as they attend the BOLTS retreat. Day one started with a bang as they integrated and collaborated with their CAS brothers and sisters, with fun and team-building experiences, they were able to mix and mingle as they worked separately as a unit. We hope that this retreat fosters comradery and unity among the CAS family for better governance and meaningful student leadership. Casa? Tigre! ✨
